Stari grad, Kalaja or Ulcinj Castle (Montenegrin Cyrillic: Стари град, Albanian: Qyteti i vjetër; "Old Town") is an ancient castle and neighborhood in Ulcinj, Montenegro. Today mostly inhabited by Albanians, it was built by the Illyrians and Ancient Greeks on a small peninsula at the right side of the Pristan Gulf, which is part of the Adriatic Sea.

It has also a museum, hotels, a number of restaurants, and a labyrinth of steps and narrow passages, often ending in private yards. :)
